After 41,000 miles, I hit 37.3 mpg on the way home from Dallas. Hope this efficiency continues....

Not bad at all...

I used to consistantly get 38+ from my 2005 E320 CDI on the highway and it had approximately 49k. My 2008 E320 Bluetec only gets a tad over 32 mph on the highway. I guess that's the price we pay for... um, progress?

Kill the DPF and its control programming so the engine isn't dumping fuel into the exhaust.

Exactly how does one "kill the DPF and it's control programming"?

You'll have to find/buy a programmer that will do it.
